Scrivener Templates

Scrivener is a great tool for both the fledgling and seasoned writer. The ability to design a template that allows an intuitive workflow on every project is one of its strongest points. Once you find out what works best for you writing style you can tweak and reuse a single template. Don't forget you can download a free trial in wither a Windows or a Mac version. If you decide to buy grab this Scrivener Coupon Code for 20% off you purchase of this great program. To make your search easier here are some templates to work with:

Most of these are zipped files. To use, first unzip the file. Then open the file with the .scrivx or .scrivtemplate extension in scrivener. Then go to “File –> Save as Template…” and follow instructions there (it’s very easy, but if you have trouble leave a message or email me). You may also be able to go to New Project, Select Options, then Import Template - depending on the template. Once you do that, the template should be available in the templates section every time you open Scrivener. Again, if you have any problems, please leave a comment or email me and I'll give you a hand.

Thanks for the comment! The templates are incredibly useful. Scrivener is free to try so definitely worth a trial run. You can import a Word document into it if you want to see how your current WIP would look. That will allow you to play with the features without typing a new manuscript. If you decide to buy it you can use the 20% Scrivener discount I have linked. You may decide it's not for you, but it is worth a look. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing these. I tried the SWFA one and was not able to open it - the extension was wrong, so I changed it to .scriv, but then I got an error message on opening - something about a binder file?

I downloaded the Hewson SFWA template and installed it. I have sent Kltownsend an e-mail with step by step directions.
